In a stochastic-flow network, a minimal system state vector under which the maximum flow of
the network from a source node to a destination node is equal to d is called a lower …

Many real-world systems such as power transmission and distribution systems, computers
and communication, social networks, and so on can be modeled as flow networks which …

A two-terminal multi-state network (TMSN) is a network (system) with multi-state subsystems
(arcs and nodes) and two terminals (source and sink nodes). In a TMSN, system reliability is …

In this study, we adopt a strategy of machine configuration to construct a reliable hybrid flow-
shop manufacturing system (HFSMS) with reworking and scrap** actions, in which the …

The d-minimal path (d-MP) problem is to find all the system state vectors (SSV) under which
d units of data can be transmitted from a source node to a destination node in a stochastic …

A rework network is a distinct multi-state network that exists in many real-life industrial
manufacturing systems for fixing defective products using rework processes to improve the …

Different types of networks, such as, Internet of Things, social networks, wireless sensor
networks, transportation networks, and 4g/5G serve to benefit and help our daily lives. The …

Networks are ubiquitous in modern applications, with reliability being a paramount
performance metric. While exact network reliability can be determined using implicit …

In this study, simulation approaches for the reliability estimation of a multi-state network
(MSN) are developed; the approaches obviate the reliance on known capacity probability …

This paper presents a novel approach to addressing the Stochastic Traveling Salesman
Problem (STSP), a classical problem in combinatorial optimization, by integrating travel time …
